It’s ok fun but there doesn’t seem to have a way of defeating the “monsters “ or even to know who they are. There’s one that zaps colors out of play and then just goes away. No way to get rid of it. Sometimes you earn “lives“ and sometimes you don’t. It’s cute but...... ### 2/5 — Dot blocks *2018-07-17, version 1.0* I really like the game but you constantly have to stop with advertisements (to frequent)... very frustrating 😟 ### 3/5 — Good game. Too many ads. No way to disable them *2018-07-15, version 1.0* It’s a great game but the ads are awful and repetitive and even if you pay 99c you still get them ### 3/5 — As Dominated *2018-07-15, version 1.0* You can't even pay for this game and escape ads. It looks fun but I gave up trying to do something about 30 second ads every few rounds. ### 2/5 — Cute yet pointless *2018-07-14, version 1.0* The goal to move on to the next level is not made clear. I keep getting the replay symbol; I'm stuck on level two. Love the look but a missing sense of progress (nor directions on how to progress) makes the game feel pointless. ### 2/5 — eh *2018-07-02, version 1.0* this game is hard to understand what the goal is and how to play. the tutorial didn't help at all and it takes me multiple tries to place a block in a spot. however, it is somewhat entertaining. ### 2/5 — Love the game, but I HATE the ads!!!! *2018-07-01, version 1.0* This game is fun and quite addictive. But I can’t stand all the ads. It seems as though an ad plays every 30-45 seconds. Ridiculous! I paid for the app yet I still get ads. ### 3/5 — Prefer ad-free game. *2018-06-28, version 1.0* I enjoy playing this game, but I wish there was a way to make it completely ad-free. I paid the $.99 in-app purchase, but that only removes the forced ads, not all of the ads, as confirmed by the developer, who was very quick to get back to me (a plus). The ads I still get are if I want more hearts or gems, or if I want to continue playing the game. I realize this is how the developer wants the game to be, but all of these ads are getting quite tiring, and so I’m not sure how much longer I’m going to play it as a result (definitely a bummer, as again, I do like playing the game). I’ve been playing lots of iOS games since my first iPhone (the 3G model), but I don’t recall ever having to watch all of these ads over and over again just to keep playing (on top of that, most of the time it’s the same ads over and over again, which makes the ads even more tiresome). I’d be surprised if other reviewers don’t agree. Odd also that my previously posted reviews of this app are gone (don’t know if the developer or if Apple removed them). ### 5/5 — ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 빵 워후 사운드가 맘에든다 *2018-06-25, version 1.0* 몇판안해봤는데 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 킬링타임으론 계속 두고할듯 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ ### 3/5 — Hmm *2018-06-24, version 1.0* Don’t really understand what I’m doing! ### 3/5 — Haneul.L *2018-06-21, version 1.0* Yoon ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bug lors de chargements pub ou arnaques ? *2020-10-30, version 1.0* Bug à chaque fois qu'il doit charger une pub. Du coup j'ai payé les 1€19 pour ne plus en avoir...mais cela sers à rien. Ce serait top que je sois remboursé rapidement car j'ai l'impression d'avoir payé pour un service qui n'existe pas ! Dommage car l'ambiance du jeu est sublime ### 1/5 — Question *2018-09-04, version 1.0* How do you defeat the cute characters? What is happening when the purple laser shoots? Why do I want hearts? Please help me understand the way to play. ### 1/5 — Paid $0.99 for nothing! *2018-07-24, version 1.0* I paid $0.99 to get the ad-free version of this app, but if you want to keep playing it the game forces you to watch ads. It seems like the whole point of this game is to get you to download more games. Very annoying! ### 1/5 — If I buy something ads should stop *2018-07-18, version 1.0* After paying 0.99, 15 sec ads continued. Watched 2 more. Rather waste 0.99 and not watch ads ### 1/5 — Boring *2018-07-18, version 1.0* I don’t think it's a “game” ### 1/5 — Impossible to figure out *2018-07-14, version 1.0* I’ll make it short. I play casually. I shouldn’t have to look up instructions for how to play this game on google to figure it out. ### 1/5 — Don’t download unless you want to be bored. *2018-06-22, version 1.0* This game is one of the most boring games I have ever played. I thought it would be challenging but instead it turn out to be a waste of time. You only have a certain amount of moves and in order to get more you other have to pay or wait until you lever up-which takes a long time with the amount of moves you have to finish a game. ### 1/5 — Unblock adds *2018-06-22, version 1.0* I paid to remove the ads and I still have to watch them to get the experience points. This is mot right ### 1/5 — Ugh *2018-06-21, version 1.0* I have no idea how to play this game. Super hard. Not fun. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2018-06-19, version 1.0* This game was a lot worse than I thought. It is really stupid and it will waste your time plus it glitches and crashes so much!!👎👎👎👎😡😡😡😡👎👎👎👎 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Dot Blocks! *2024-09-07* Gala (cute character), even I use it as a school chain reaction that I always draw on the whiteboard. ### 5/5 — Mahmoud *2020-01-10, version 1.0* MHM1UAE ### 5/5 — Great pastime *2019-08-13, version 1.0* I love this app ### 5/5 — 👍 *2019-05-27, version 1.0* 🌃🏙🌆🌇🌅❤️😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😴 ### 5/5 — cutie dot *2018-07-30, version 1.0* awesome challenges have trouble putting it down ### 5/5 — Dot blocks *2018-07-25, version 1.0* This game is so fun to play when you are board or just in the mood to play a great game ### 5/5 — Dot blocks *2018-07-20, version 1.0* I’m obsessed ### 5/5 — JacKeyHavard *2018-07-16, version 1.0* Vjc ### 5/5 — Nihal *2018-07-14, version 1.0* Djdjdjd ### 5/5 — Fun! *2018-06-26, version 1.0* Good so far! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
